You have to make them from skateboard wheels and typically they only go into Mega wheel wells because Megas use the same bearings as skateboard wheels. |

I took two skateboard wheels - I cut them .. I sanded them down (using a power sander) .. made them true .. then I glued them together using "Liquid Nails #2" - they are rock solid and very very very fast.

I know this is a old tpoc but you don't need to cut down 2 wheels and glue them together unless you want the width of a mega wheel.
All you have to do is sand down the wheel to fit the wheel well and then get some kick scooter spacers and I'm not taking the razor scooters I'm talking for like the Phoenix or other pro scooters. They make spacers for like pegs and stuff so they fit snug then you put one one each side of the axel and they are the same width as the spinning part of the bearings so the wheel is in the middle of the wheel well and axel and there you go. |

Anyways, check it out:
They sorta work. They are too tall for the wheel well though. Like they rub the part in the wheel well that talks about the patent. Any ideas on how to grind it down to fit, while keeping it in perfect wheel shape?
And one of them wobbles a bit when it's spinning. This has happened to some of my official heelys wheels also. Anyone know why that happens?
Edit:
Oh yeah, and are megaverts usually insanely loud when walking? |
For anyone wondering how to make the wheels smaller you need a lathe to make it the wheel circumference smaller or if you don't have one of those or can't get one of those you need to get a bolt and nut and slide it through the wheel and then tighten the nut down on the wheel so it doesn't spin and slide the other end of the bolt into a drill bit and wrap sand paper would the whole wheel and then let the wheel spin around the sand paper to make it smaller. |
